Your safest bet is to assume none, Carl.

I think it only cost £8 to add another 2,000 miles to my cars insurance. That was from 8,000 to 10,000 miles.

I have always insured my car for limited milage and although i have never gone over it i have never been asked to verify my milage in any way.Seems they have always taken my word for it.

Jonny1 - insurance companies take your word on everything - you agree that what you have said is true when you accept the quotation.

One thing my insurance company asked following an accident - mileage of vehicle. I get a quote for 18,000 a year. If my 18 month old car had done 50,000 miles they would have started asking questions, no problem if I can show the mileage was 45,000 when I bought it 6 months before, a bit of a problem if they prove it was 8,000.
